Biography I am a student at the College of Computing and a Research Scientist for Georgia Tech Research Institute. My research interests focus on distributed simulation, and real-time simulation in particular. Before coming to Tech, I was a consultant for Booz, Allen & Hamilton, Inc. in the Washington, DC area. Prior to that I served with the United States Navy. I was designated a Naval Aviator in 1986, and have flown a variety of tactical and training aircraft. I have over 200 arrested carrier landings. I have three incredible kids, ages 13, 11 and 1. My wife, Jackie, works for Oracle Corporation, (but she'll tell you that she's no computer geek!)
